Opportunities for Anant scholars

Anant scholars can volunteer to manage students and help out with logistics support at the Anant scholarship disbursement event under the guidance of other experienced volunteers. They can also offer to help out at Anant workshops and seminars or health camps. In office, Anant scholars can help the Anant team in sorting data, processing records, calling students, etc.

Students' scope

Students of reputed city schools can come forward to share a specific skill with Anant scholars, like sports, arts, photography, etc, in small groups. Different clubs like the Photography Club, the Arts Club, the Nature Club, etc can be formed to facilitate this interaction. This gives Anant scholars a new vehicle to express themselves and also gain new friends.
